I'm completely useless. If anyone is able to let me know how to get started on this, it would be much appreciated.
So, as you can see from the attached .png image, I created three blank fields on the background image for: (1) marquee (top); (2) snap (middle); and (3) game list (bottom).
I'm using liquid8d's awesome Introduction to Squirrel Programming tutorial here: https://github.com/mickelson/attract/wiki/Introduction-to-Squirrel-Programming
But every time I try to add the pacman.png as the background image (fe.add_image), the display just defaults as if there's no layout.nut file at all.
I have to assume it has something to do with the aspect/resolution. The image is 640x800, and I'm trying to get it to display vertically (cocktail set up).
Again, if anyone can get me started, that would be awesome.

Much obliged!
I was able to track down the attached background. I'm going to see what I can come up with and, if it's worthy(ish), I'll be glad to share.

Themes / Attrac-Man Vertical Layout?
« on: November 03, 2015, 05:33:29 PM »
I am loving Attract Mode. In particular, I totally dig the Attrac-Man layout. I'm putting together a cocktail arcade cabinet, and I'd like to run the entire thing vertically. But when I rotate the Attrac-Man layout (fe.layout.orient = RotateScreen.Left), it of course ends up looking like a stretched out mess. See attached.
I've looked high and low for a vertical-friendly Pac-Man themed background .png to no avail (e.g., something with space for snaps, marquees, etc.). I think if I at least had that to start with, I could figure out the rest based on the attracman source code.
Does anyone have any tips/pointers?
